    so my 9cell battery's current max is 60wh. Earlier today, before I drained it to ~7% [I was in transit], its max was 66wh. it's original max is 85wh. I've had this battery just around last july-august.

    drained it again today. it's now capped at 57 wh.

    I got myself a new charger that arrived just yesterday. old one was having issues. something about it's circuitry and not charging sometimes. this one works as it should now.
